Description
Hi, I’m Chantel from Lluvia Photography! I’m a lifestyle and wedding photographer based in beautiful Mossel Bay — right on the edge of the spectacular Garden Route — and I feel so lucky to spend my days documenting love stories all along this amazing coastline.
Here’s what I love: capturing you — the real, unfiltered, warm and fun version of yourself — in a setting where you feel comfortable, relaxed, and just like you. One of the nicest compliments I often hear is that my warm, easy-going personality helps people feel at ease in front of my camera. That means less stiff poses, fewer awkward “smile at the camera” moments, and more genuine laughs, stolen glances and moments you’ll remember for a lifetime.
I specialise in intimate, intentional weddings — the kind that reflect your vision, your vibe, your story. Maybe you’re exchanging vows by the sea, embracing a sunset backdrop, or simply sharing an authentic moment with your closest people. Whatever your dream, I’ll be there to capture it in a way that feels true to you. I work with a handful of wedding-photography packages to suit different needs — whether you’re planning something small and sweet or a full celebration — but here’s the best part: if you’ve got something specific in your mind, I’m always game to create a custom option just for you.
Because here’s the thing: your wedding day isn’t a cookie-cutter event. It’s your story. And I believe your photos should feel like your story, not a copy of someone else’s. So if you’re up for a bit of adventure, real moments, warm vibes and great photography along the Garden Route — let’s chat. I’d love to hear your vision and bring it to life behind the lens.

There are plenty photographers out there theses days. It does, however, take a GIFTED photographer who actually has an eye for capturing a moment in its essence. No pretense, just genuine being in the moment. That is exactly what Chantel is. On top of that, you’ll find her to be thoughtful, punctual and very warm. Easy to be in front of her lens.

Chantel is an amazing person with a huge passion in photography and it shows in her work. Me and my fiancé prefer her every time we have an event. Her photos are magical and beautiful with high quality and detail.
I will recommend her 10000% to anyone. If you are looking for a friendly face with amazing photos and ideas, don’t even think twice to book her. You won’t be disappointed. Oh and of course, GREAT PRICES. Love her work!

Your wedding day is one of the big moments in your life and Chantel has an eye for capturing the magic of such a special day in your life and make it last forever. Looking back you remember the peace and excitement you felt that day, all captured in a photograph. Chantel makes you feel at ease, she is well prepared and helps you to feel natural in front of the camera, but also giving you the best version of you. I have had the privilege to work with Chantel on several different occasions and each time she exceeds my expectations. Her passion truly reflects in her work.

One if the BEST photographers ever! Even though she didnt know us, when we met it was like we knew each other for years! She made us feel so welcome, and she literally walk the extra mile to accommodate us. She’s very friendly, and she makes it soooo easy to just be yourself infront of the camera.
She even got me and hubby feeling like we were on honeymoon, she actually brought back a spark in our marriage and she made us laugh at each other and together like we were 2 teenagers. Best experience ever! Thank you so much … if I could give her a 6 I would…

I have had the profound pleasure of witnessing Chantel’s passion and exceptional work ethic on multiple occasions. She has an absolutely phenomenal eye for candid moments, that capture the essence of people in raw emotion, leaving you with more than just photographs…she leaves you timeless and speechless. Our little family adored working with her; she even made my conservative husband comfortable enough to be fully present. She is talented perfection, and I would humbly insist on her skills, for anyone that would like to capture the most personal and exquisite moments, for everlasting treasuring.

My Fiancé and I have used Chantel in 2023 and 2024 in Potchefstroom for my hostel Dine and we loved the experience, the photo editing and her enthusiasm while taking our photos.
She loved all our unique ideas and even contributed her own creative ideas. The photos she took is stil a huge highlight and topic in our daily lives.
Sometimes having a photo shoot is somewhat awkward but Chantel had the complete opposite experience and made it a fun and positive atmosphere. She engaged with us more as a life long friend instead of a complete stranger.
I would highly recommend her to anybody that is looking for a great photographer for any occasions.
You will not be disappointed!

Chantel is absolutely AMAZING. We adopted her as our family photographer after our first session with her and she has done all our shoots since. Now that she’s moved away to Mossel Bay we feel like we’d be cheating on her if we got someone else for our shoots.. we miss her so much and hope we get to use her talents for our shoots again soon. She has the most beautiful way of capturing us, truly and purely. I look at the photo’s she’s taken of us – the memories she’s managed to encapsulate – with so much joy and love. You couldn’t possibly do better with anyone else. Definitely, in every lifetime, choose Lluvia Photography. You’ll only keep going back for more!

Chantel was absolutely incredible! She captured every moment of our wedding day so beautifully and made us feel comfortable and relaxed the entire day. The photos are beyond anything we could have hoped for; natural, emotional, and full of magic. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares about her work and her clients!

I had the most incredible experience shooting with Chantel. I arrived at the beach at 5am feeling nervous (and a little cold!), but her energy immediately put me at ease. She brought such excitement, warmth, and confidence to the session that I felt comfortable and natural in front of the camera within a few minutes.
Her eye for beauty is unbelievable, she captured the softness of the early morning ocean, the light, and angles that made my face, eyes and body look effortless and authentic. The photos turned out absolutely stunning.
I also loved how professional she was throughout the entire process. She delivered my images quickly via an easy-to-use online drive and let me choose exactly which ones to download. She even checked with me before sharing anything online, which made me feel respected and valued.
I couldn’t recommend Chantel more. If you want someone who brings both talent and heart to her photography, she’s the one. 🌊📸✨
